E. B. MARTY'S HOME
LOST BY FIRE;
Residence and All Contents Bnrned.
Family Escaped Unhurt, a Daugh
ter Barely With Her Life.
Mr. Elijah B. Martin's dwelling
house at Silverstreet was completely
destroyed by fire on last Thursday
night at 1 o'clock, the origin of the
fire being unknown. With the house
went all the household effects, the
loss being between $5,000 and $6,000,
with an insurance of $1.S00 on the
dwellinga nd $1,000 on the furniture.
The family had retired, all on the
> first floor except the grown daughter,
Miss Marjorie Martin, who was sleep
ing upstairs. She barely escaped with
her life, having time only to get out
without dressing, as the fire, which
was upstairs and burning rapidly with
the flames leaping out the windows
and spreading through the room, wak
ed her from a sound sleep. She man

the family, but there was no time to
save anything, as tfie roof had fallen
in when the fire was discovered and
the house was docmed to quick and,
utter destruction. I
The neighbor? came to the assist-,
ance of Mr. Martin and his family in
their distress and kindly rendered,
temporary aid in sympathetic and
friendly hospitality. Mr. Martin and
his family have the sympathy of the
community and of friends throughout:
the county in the sudden loss that has!
befallen them.

A Fine Tribute to Dr. Jacobs.
There was recently a meeting at
Barium Springs, Va., of orphanage
workers. Dr. Jacobs of Thornwell or
phanage was among those present at
the conference. In reporting the pro
ceedings of the meeting, Charity and
Children, the orphanage journal at
Barium Springs, incorporates the fol
lowing beautiful and true little tribute
to the good and great man whose
noble life is a blessing and benedic
tion to Clinton and everywhere else
that his influence is felt: ,
"Dr. W. P. Jacobs is feeble in body, j
but as keen and clear in his mental
ftiwUies as he ever was. He is the
- nestor af the body and its prophet as
well. He grows mellower and'sweeter,
as he faces the" radiant sunset, and his;
tender words of admonition to his
younger brethren touched their hearts'
and brought tears to their eyes. Dr.1
Jacobs has given 42 years of a great
life to the orphanage work, and he,
declared that when he passed away he
wanted inscribed on the slab over his
tomb. The Child.' Only this and noth
ing more."
Sercd Fnele Itemns to Thormvell. i
In reading the current number of
Our Monthly, the excellent publica-j
tion devoted to the interests of Thorn- j
well orphanage at Clinton, we came,'
across a little paragraph about an-;
other useful man who has been]
spending his life going about doin^j
good for the orphans, and we thought
its reproduction in these columns i
might put it into the mind and heart:
of one or more of Our c'.tizens to "helpj
on the good cause." Following is the
paragraph: _ j
"Our constant friend and fellow- j
worker, Mr. T. C. Scott, came into tne
president's office recently with 12 in
teresting books for summer reading
ar Riverside cottage. We have a little
library at Riverside of some 150 or
200 volumes, nearly, all of which are
Mr. Scott's gifts. Although the zjfer
is so close by ana tnere is aiwavs
something to amuse one's self with,;
our boys carry their reading habits,
with them and most of the midday is'
epent with .the books. Several copies^
of Uncle Remus have been worn out!
at Riverside already. Some good;
friend might help on Nthe good cause1
bv sending a copy for this season.'* ;

In my opinion, it is important that
all men of the ases of 21 and 30, in
rlnsive shall reeister under the se
lective draft act on Tuesday, June 5.
Whether we believe in consciption or
rot. it is not now a question. The
duly constituted authority of this na
tion has declared it bo the duty of
every man within the inclusive ages
above set forth, to register for the
purpose of military service during the
present serious crisis which confronts
us. It is the duty of every man. un
der any and ill circumstances, to com
ply with thi law. Whether we think
the law is being fairly and impartially
administered or not. we have nothing
to do with this at this particular time,
but as patriotic South Carolinians and
Americans, we should go. everv mr>n.
irrespective of his color or condition
in life, and comply with the law.
I trust that no man within the se
lective age in this county will shirk
his duty, and I trust that every citi
zen of this county, within the con
scriptive age, will respond cheerfully
and gladly to tfife call of his country.
I am not giving this advice gratuit
ously. but I feel by reason of the po- ,'
sition to which my fellow citizens;
have honored me. and by reason of the;
connaeijce inai mey nave impuocu mi
me by electing me a member of your!
State executive committee, to call all
citizens within the ages above men-|
tioned, irrespective o! color or politi-!
cal affiliations.- to do what I conceive
to be their legal and moral duty, name
ly, that every citizen from 21 to 30,
inclusive, shall, on Tuesday next, reg
ister.
